Ok ladies and germs, here's the "reader's digest" version of what the hell's going on leading up to now:
Buckhead - Nate, Jennifer, & Vin fled Atlanta after being chased by damn near every law enforcement organization and their mother, and headed toward Harlan based on a text message sent from an unknown dude pulling strings behind the scenes.
Harlan - Eli, Eric, & Christi met up and Christi's psychotic bro (Danny) and his merry band of assholes decided to chase after Christi in an attempt to kill her since she killed their dad. Eli was basically like "Fuck that" and took care of everything and the three of them ran for the hills.
Both groups eventually met in the dead of night on an unassuming road in Harlan County, where they exchanged words, grunts, and facial expressions, until they decided not to kill one another and instead blindly follow the other into a dilapidated "safehouse"....And, I'm pretty sure Jackson fell asleep in the car that was pushed down the road into the lake, or at least that's what I imagined *shrug* ;)
@AcerRo - I suppose anyone new who wants to join in will need to meet up with the group in the next chapter (?). I'll leave that up to you...
@Subject Zero - No excuses bro! I'm watching you...
@Xandrya - Well hey there sunshine ;)
@Remipa Awesome - We need some of Eric's input on the current situation
@Thundercrash - Let's get Christi's take on the events
@Automaton - Do you see yourself posting anytime soon, or shall we gently remove Jackson from the equation?
